Theater Talk: Jed Bernstein and Eric Bentley

A conversation with the eminent critic, playwright and translator ERIC BENTLEY on the life of - and his work with - the legendary Bertolt Brecht and whose plays THE THREEPENNY OPERA and MOTHER COURAGE AND HER CHILDREN have both been revived this season in New York.


Theater Talk is a series devoted to the world of the stage. It began on New York television in 1993 and is co-hosted by Michael Riedel (Broadway columnist for the New York Post) and series producer Susan Haskins.
The program is one of the few independent productions on PBS and now airs weekly on Thirteen/WNET in New York and WGBH in Boston. Now, CUNY TV offers New York City viewers additional opportunities to catch each week's show. (Of course, Theater Talk is no stranger to CUNY TV, since the show is taped here each week before its first airing on Thirteen/WNET.)
The series is produced by Theater Talk Productions, a not-for-profit corporation and is funded by contributions from private foundations and individuals, as well as The New York State Council on the Arts.

Bentley's work is a monument to the interplay of ideas. A fine writer with a keen eye for the dramatic and the original. Good to see him going strong in the evening of his accomplished and many coloured public life.
